Lowkey golf club with an excellent, challenging Pete Dye golf course. Conditions were fast and firm in the July heat, and tons of fun. A former major venue and a must try in Oklahoma!

The course can be played anywhere from around 5400 yards to 8200 yards. There are no tee markers. There is no par (par is an enigma). When we play, the winner of the previous hole gets to pick the tee spot and the par for the following hole.

Forest Ridge is another semi public turned private country club in the area that is a joy to play. Not easy might be the toughest course in the area not. Ames Southern Hills. Good holes interesting routing, better hit it straight definitely recommend

…the layout is so fun. It is so peaceful. The locker rooms are nice. One of the best sets of par threes that there is. 18 having two greens is unique and fun.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Oklahoma. Rankings refresh about hourly.
